Welcome for cane ban in Navy schools

 

In 1967 the British abolished corporal punishment at nautical schools. We saw some of the outrage expressed in newspapers at the time here.

This editorial comment from a local evening newspaper welcomes the ban, even though it says many, including the Lindsey Federation of Women’s Institutes, favour the use of corporal punishment for criminals.

As published in the Lincolnshire Echo, 10 May 1967.
